1) A , 2) A , 3) B

Can someone please shed some light on the explanation of Question #3 ?

This is my reasoning.

There have been some problematic aspects to welcoming Neandertals and Denisovans into the human family.

-> This is the puzzles. We have to solve this.
It means that Neandertals and Denisovans have different aspects, so it is hard to say both are human family.
To resolve this, we have to say both Neandertals and Denisovans are human family.

(B) It tries to solve the problem between Neanderthals and Denisovans.
Not solve the problem between human and (Neanderthals and Denisovans)
So wrong.
(D) correct
(D) can solve the problem because (D) said Neanderthals and Denisovans were human populations

I hope this is helpful.

Whats the source of this passage, seems difficult.
Can someone please explain the OA's it seems one should have lot of knowledge on the topic

I dont think you need any extensive knowledge to answer RCs in Gmat. the passages provided will be self sufficient to answer all the questions.
From what i know we need to comprehend and make a passage map to understand the gist of passage .

Sajjad1994, could you share the OE for question 3 ?

No OE is available, here is the text in the passage which supports answer option D

Ever since the fossil Neandertal discoveries in the 19th century, debates have raged about who they were. Were Neandertals direct ancestors to modern humans? A completely different species? Or a sub-species, like a race?

These lines shows that there was some puzzle between the Neandertals and the modern humans.

Now these lines

Anthropology can now confidently report that Neandertals, Denisovans, and others labeled archaic are in fact an interbreeding part of the modern human lineage. We are the same species. There has been extensive admixture across modern humans for tens of thousands of years,

These lines shows that there definitely a direct relation is there between the both.

These lines:

Still, there have been some problematic aspects to welcoming Neandertals and Denisovans into the human family.

These lines shows that after all of the evidence we are still not sure.

Now read the option D

(D) Neanderthals and Denisovans were human populations that separated from the modern lineage early in the Middle Pleistocene.

It solved the puzzle.
